On a local enthusiast board I made a post about the lip roller I was going to use and if anyone wanted to use it they could come over to my place and borrow it. Someone made a comment as to why anyone would possibly ever want to do that to their car. I told him I wanted to improve the aerodynamics of my car to improve gas mileage and was thinking about rolling my lips so I could weld up some alluminum skirts and latter on install an electric motor hybrid kit. In the end it resulted in these pictures till he finally wised up.

Thats to funny.
I wonder if he would beleive you were engineering a new kind of spinner that will create downforce right at the wheels and make the car handle better. Call it the Tornado spinner. |
